Hello,
I purchased few shares (<$500) and it went down, seeing the losses from the platform. But I have NOT sold any yet, still holding them. Do I have report in my tax return?
From one of the shares, It pays me dividend (<$50). Haven't cashes out any, sitting in my available funds. Do I have to report in my tax return?
Thanks!
Only report the income (dividend). A capital gain or loss only occurs when you have disposed of all or some of the shares. (termed a CGT event)
